Though based in Basel, the trio of Phased actually comprise a Swede (Chris Sigdell - vocals/guitar), a Finn (Marko Lehtinen - drums) and an Austrian (Harald Binder - bass). Following a debut album with different line-up that mixed psychedelic, Krautrock and space-rock influences together, the band has slowly evolved towards a more Stoner/Doom platform. They describe it as 'Psychedelic Motor Doom': a suitable comparison would probably be equal measures of Sleep, Black Sabbath and Hawkwind, with increasing heaviness added to each subsequent release.

Originally formed as a 5-piece under the name Phased 4°F, only Chris Sigdell remained with the band after it changed name and became a trio following the debut album release.
Marko Lehtinen also plays in Ashtar.
